And if you have any interesting pics or videos (like this one here), be sure to add them in the comments!

Now, I’m a sucker for a good deal, Rock Band or otherwise, but let’s slow down a little bit here, people. On Black Friday, Wal-Mart was selling the original Rock Band bundle for $50. That’s a pretty good deal, but still not good enough to coax me out of a nice slumber and into the cold Midwest weather. That and I already own 4 different bundles for 2 consoles. But check out this scene someone was able to record of the melee that ensued once the masses were unleashed upon the Rock Band goodness. And… GO!

FYI, if any of these people asked me nicely, I would have given them my older Rock Band instruments.

Old Navy is the place to be next week for all your Rock Band needs!  The FREE Lego Rock Band deal was confirmed this morning on their promotional website: Gobblepalooza.com (oh, I get it…).  I’ve included the official details below on helping you score a free copy, too.

But in addition to the Lego Rock Band deal, it also appears that select stores will be open on Thanksgiving Day.  And these stores will have Rock Band setup for you and your family to come down and play!  That could be pretty fun… if you have a cool family, that is.  Not enough incentive to get you down there?  OK.  Old Navy will also be handing out scratch-off game pieces with one grand prize (per store) of a $200 Old Navy gift card, but two out of every seven pieces will have codes for FREE DLC!

I also found this as an interesting note in the official rules for the free DLC promotion: “Chance of winning does not increase with skill at Rock Band.“  Dammit!

Official FREE Lego Rock Band details:

Prior to store opening on Friday, November 27th in the US (Saturday, November 28 in Canada excluding Quebec), customers will form a line outside the store, and a store associate(s) will pass out one wristband per person aged 16 or older, starting with the front of the line while supplies last. There are an extremely limited amount of available wristbands per store which will be distributed on a first come first served basis and Old Navy can not quarantee that all customes in line will receive a wristband. Wristbands correspond to console platforms (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii), so customers must choose their preferred console from the available wristbands. Old Navy cannot guarantee that your preferred console platform will be available. Subject to availability, wristbands are good for one Lego Rock Band video game in the platform listed on the wristband (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii) with a qualifying purchase of $20 or more, and must be surrendered after purchase. Limit on Lego Rock Band game per person, family or household. Qualifying purchases exclude Gift Cards and applicable taxes. Store hours may vary by location. Check your local store for details. No rainchecks.

I’m still skeptical about this one, but I have a feeling this may be true, because some places really have some killer deals on Black Friday.  Of course, I could also see it being a truncated version of the game, like an extended demo.  And apparently according to Joystiq, Old Navy will also be selling Rock Band 2 bundles, with a possible extra guitar, for $99!  If you are still rocking the older Rock Band 1 instruments, this is a perfect time to upgrade.

If this is all true, for $99, you could get Rock Band 2, TWO Rock Band 2 guitars (wireless), one Rock Band 2 drumset (wireless), one mic, and Lego: Rock Band.  Just wanted to make that clear! As soon as I hear more details about this, I’ll let you know!

UPDATE: Forgot to include this: You can reach your $20 requirement also by picking up some Rock Band t-shirts for yourself or your lil’ ones at Old Navy here.  Pics below of just a few of the options they have (and they have a good variety).
